Nancy Guided Light Transit
The Nancy Guided Light Transit or TVR is a guided bus system in Nancy, France. The system uses Bombardier's TVR technology. The TVR replaced the trolleybus system in Nancy.Vehicles
The system uses rubber-tyred, three-section articulated vehicles. The vehicles use trolley poles to collect current from parallel overhead lines, and can also run independently without the central guide rail.History
The system was implemented as a replacement for the trolleybus network. Operation of the long line began in 2000. The system had problems with derailing vehicles, as well as heavy wear and tear of the pavement. In 2018, 12 vehicles from Caen were transferred to Nancy for use as spare parts donors.Planned closure and replacement
The TVR system is planned to be replaced by a conventional low-floor tram system. Operation of the TVR is scheduled to end in 2021.
